Literature
Lady Wentworth, Thoroughbred Racing Stock, New York,
1938, illus., pl. 148, as 'Hales Arabian'.
Charlie Watts, the legendary drummer of The Rolling Stones, was renowned not only for his musical prowess but also for his profound affection for animals, particularly Collies. He and his wife, Shirley, resided at Halsdon Manor in Devon, where they managed a stud farm for Arabian horses. Their estate was also home to numerous dogs, reflecting their deep commitment to animal welfare.
Edwin Loder (1827–1885) was a British artist best known for his warm and characterful paintings of animals, especially dogs and horses. Born in Bath, Somerset, he was the son of James Loder, a respected painter of sporting and rural scenes, and it was within this creative environment that Edwin’s talent naturally developed.
At nineteen, Loder joined the 62nd Regiment of Foot and spent much of his military career in India. After twenty years of service, he was discharged due to poor health and returned to England, where he became an outpatient at the Royal Chelsea Hospital. He then moved back to his hometown of Bath and set up a studio in the suburb of Widcombe, dedicating himself fully to painting.
Loder’s artwork spanned the years from around 1850 to 1885 and focused largely on farm animals and sporting subjects. Dogs were a particular favourite, and his portraits of them—whether working dogs, lapdogs, or sporting breeds—are filled with warmth, humour, and fine attention to detail. He also painted horses and rural scenes with a similar sensitivity. Some of his known works include Success, a Terrier, A Maltese Dog Reading, and Portrait of a Pointer in Landscape. On occasion, he signed his work with the pseudonym “Fritz.”
While he may not be as widely celebrated as some of his contemporaries, Edwin Loder’s paintings remain admired by collectors and animal lovers alike. His work captures not only the physical likeness of his subjects but their personalities too, offering a heartfelt glimpse into the Victorian world and its deep fondness for animals.

A lovely landscape painting of sheep on a coastal cliff by Charles ‘Sheep’ Jones. The sheep and her two lambs are depicted against the backdrop of the sea with shipping and chalk cliffs in the distance. The location is likely to be the Devon coast, an area Jones visited often.
Charles Jones was an animal painter who was born in Stepney, London in 1836. He was the son of the artist Samuel John Egbert Jones (1797-1861) and Dinah Jones. He lived with his parents and 9 siblings in Mile End and was a pupil of his father. In September 1859, he married Frances Rosalinda Downe, who was born in America. His son Arthur Bertram Loud (1863-1930) also became an artist. They lived at 12 Hayes Place, Lisson Grove from where he made his debut in London at the Royal Academy in 1861. He also exhibited at the British Institution, Suffolk Street, New Watercolour Society, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours.
By 1867, he had become a successful artist and had moved to 7 Paragon Place, Brixton Hill. From 1874, he lived at Heathercroft, Balham Hill where he spent the rest of his life. As well as the major London galleries, he also exhibited provincially at various locations including: the Royal Cambrian Academy where he was elected a member in 1886, the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts, Manchester City Art Gallery, Royal Hibernian Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Birmingham and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. Some of the smaller more intimate galleries he exhibited at were Arthur Tooth & Sons and Thomas Richardson...
